Chapter 351: "Painless Lovelorn" premieres
Yuan Lei happily took her little brother away with the interview materials, this time the interview was particularly smooth, and many of the questions she wanted to ask Zhou Bai was also quite cooperative, and the harvest could be said to be really a lot, enough for her to write a few articles.
Zhou Bai and Lin Chufang were also very satisfied, they talked about a lot of problems, but the scale was controlled, and there were no problems overall, anyway, Yuan Lei would also inform this side when the operation was carried out, but he was not worried about any uncontrollable situation.
At 2:40 p.m. on February 12, Zhou Bai looked at the audiences who had entered the theater one after another, and felt some emotion in his heart, the enthusiasm of the audience in Berlin for movies is incomparable to that of other cities, and they are willing to go out to watch movies in this cold weather, which is definitely true love.
Who would have thought that every year the Berlinale has the largest audience of the three major film festivals, and in this cold climate, the city's audience will turn it into a film hotspot with their passion.
According to incomplete statistics, about 15,000 Berliners buy tickets for the Berlinale every year, supporting one-third of the festival's income.
In terms of the number of urban audiences, the Berlinale is far better than its famous rivalsβββ Cannes and Venice, and the audience in Cannes is more about watching stars, beauties, beaches and waves, full of enthusiasm, whether it is it or Venice, there is less of a kind of purity than Berlin.
The promotional activities of "Painless Love" started relatively early, but the intensity was not too large, although the chairman of the festival, Koslick, was very supportive, but after all, it is more important to have a good relationship with Hollywood this year, so it can be said that it is tepid in terms of publicity.
Zhou Bai looked at the number of moviegoers, and was very satisfied, they came to line up early, waiting for the opening to enter, looking at this, Hall 7 may not be able to accommodate so many people.
"Senior sister, the audience is very happy as soon as you come, you see the cheers they give you, I really envy your audience base here, no worse than Nicole Kidman. Zhou Bai said with envy, and the cheers of the audience were really high when Gong Li came.
"I've been the chairman of the jury here, and I've released many movies in the past ten years, and if I don't have fans, I'm really shameless. Gong Li said with a charming look.
Well, Gong Li didn't deliberately tease Zhou Bai, but now she is too charming, a sensual body under a dignified and inviolable face is almost terrible with an occasional glance, that kind of amorous royal sister charm, almost made Comrade Zhou Bai frightened.
Sometimes the unintentional style is sultry, fortunately, Zhou Bai is not an ordinary person, and there are many goddess-level actors who have cooperated, and he returned to normal after an instant loss of consciousness, and said with a smile: "They really love to watch your movies, and now the number of people watching outside is almost full, and if you change a movie that is also not famous, it is estimated that there is really no such treatment." β
Gong Li saw that Zhou Bai was just momentarily distracted, and soon became casual, and said with a smile: "When I came in, I heard a lot of people shouting your name, these people have not only my fans, but also your fans, I can't stand your compliment." β
"Uh, okay, let's stop complimenting each other, senior sister, you have worked hard all the way, I am grateful to have come over, and the guests are almost here, let's go over to Director Xiaobao and greet him." Zhou Bai smiled and said, the two movie leading actors stood here and complimented each other, which did look a little weird.
Saying that Gong Li's hard work is not Zhou Bai's scene, Gong Li has been busy with the release and publicity activities of "Zhou Yu's Train" in China, she finally came in a hurry, although the expression on her face is bright, but it can also be seen that there is a trace of fatigue, it is difficult to rest well on the plane.
"Director Du, Brother Hua, thank you for your support. Zhou Bai smiled, shook hands with Du Qifeng and Ren Dahua, and the invitations that were scattered really reaped the rewards, at least they would not be particularly cold to attend the premiere of the movie starring.
"It should be, it should be. Du Qifeng patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder very politely and said, he has known Er Dongsheng for a long time, two days ago Zhou Bai and Er Dongsheng went to cheer when "PTU" was released.
Zhou Bai is quite calm, after all, it is a personal relationship, he has no deep friendship with these people, some of them only met in the "Xiangjiang Night", they are also people in the Chinese film circle, and it is normal for them to support each other, but Feng Shaofeng, Fan Bingbing, Miao Pian and others on the side are very excited, and when they see these big names again, they instantly feel that this premiere is high.
After Du Qifeng and Ren Dahua, then Liu Weiqiang and Liu Zhenwei, mainland directors Sun Zhou and Lu Xuechang, and the mainland filmmakers from Xiangjiang who basically stayed in Berlin came, and the arrival of these people turned the atmosphere of the premiere, which was still a little quiet, into a hot one.
Fan Xiaopang and a few people were so excited, they gathered so many big names at once, it is rare to see them in ordinary times, and now they all come to participate in the premiere of their own movies, although it is said that they are rushing to the face of Zhou Bai and Er Dongsheng, but they have a performance, and their faces are also bright.
When Lao Mouzi appeared with Zhang Ziyi, Du Kefeng, Zhang Weiping and others, the atmosphere was raised to another height, if Xiangjiang was to see Er Dongsheng's face, Lao Mouzi actually appeared with Zhang Ziyi and others, it was definitely for Zhou Bai's face.
"Teacher, aren't you doing a propaganda campaign in Paris, and you still have the time to come here, which makes me feel uneasy. Zhou Bai said gratefully, he didn't expect Zhang Yimou to bring the crew of "Hero" to the show, this favor is really not small.
"The publicity is almost over, the premiere of your movie, as long as you are free, you have to come, I also want to see what kind of sparks you and Gong Li can have. Lao Mouzi said with a smile.
Gong Li's face on the side was as usual, and she hugged Lao Mouzi, the former lovers have now let go of the knot in their hearts, and everything is normal when they get along, as for whether there is fluctuation in their hearts, only the parties concerned know.
"Brother Bai, I'm looking forward to your performance in the movie for a while, I've always felt that our cooperation is not enjoyable, if there is any opportunity in the future, remember to call me." Zhang Ziyi hugged Zhou Bai lightly and said with a smile.
"Okay, there's going to be a chance. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"Didn't Maggie come with you?" After the greetings were almost over, Zhou Bai asked Zhang Ziyi in a low voice, when Zhou Bai invited Zhang Manyu before, she agreed very happily, but this meeting did not appear.
"Well, isn't this coming?" Zhang Ziyi said with a smile.
Zhou Bai turned his head to see that Zhang Manyu was holding the arm of his ex-husband Olivier Assayas, and when he saw Zhou Bai turning his head to look at him, Assayas shrugged his shoulders in a funny way, as if he was particularly innocent, which made Zhou Bai grin.
